The Adams Mystery Playhouse has been voted the best murder-mystery dinner theater in Denver for three years running. The interactive, improvisational show ends up being a little different each night, thanks to an audience that questions the cast of suspects. Murder Mystery Dinners are performed every Friday and Saturday night, with doors opening around 6pm. Bring your camera, but videos longer than 2 minutes aren't allowed. For tickets, call the box office at (303) 455-1848 or book online.

Finding a great hotel nearby shouldn’t be part of the mystery!

At only 1.5 miles away, the Four Seasons Hotel Denver is one of the closest hotels to the Playhouse, meaning you won't have to worry about traffic. The five-star, 239-room hotel is a chance to splurge and take in the very best hotel in town, including the heated outdoor pool, the opulent soaking bathtubs, and heated floors. Head to Edge, the hotel restaurant, or to the nearby Larimer Square for some fine dining.

Part of Union Station

Also around 1.5 miles away is The Crawford Hotel, part of the Union Station Complex. Combining the historical nature of the Station and a brand-new four-star luxury doesn’t sound all that intuitive, but it works spectacularly. Union Station’s selection of food and drink is well-known, and being right next to the transportation hub makes arriving and departing as easy as possible. The bathrooms offer a very large shower with dual shower heads, while the lobby has been integrated into the main hall of the train station.

A taste of luxury

Also less than 2 miles from the Playhouse is the 246-room Magnolia Hotel. Featuring luxurious touches like 37-inch TV’s, granite-appointed desks, bathrobes, and plenty more, the three-and-a-half-star hotel offers plenty of room. The 24-hour fitness center will help you work off the complimentary milk and cookies, which are available from 8-10pm each night. Move up to a suite to get a room twice the size of a deluxe for just a few dollars more.

On a budget?

Finally, head to the Quality Inn in Central Denver if you’re trying to stick to a budget. Formerly the Plaza Hotel, the Quality Inn is less than three miles from the Playhouse. An outdoor pool is available, and the continental breakfast gets raved about online. Ask for a room facing the west to enjoy the mountain view, and take the free shuttle to some of the local attractions if you like. It’s also convenient if you’re going to a Rockies game.
